Bitterfeld's new train station: modern and sustainable for the future!

Bitterfeld, Deutschland - in Bitterfeld is big: the new train station will soon open the doors. Despite some challenges, Deutsche Bahn plans to solemnly open the reception building in August. As MDR , everything should be in an appealing condition by then, because the construction work is progressing quickly.

The reception building impresses with its modern architecture, which was designed with large glass surfaces and black and amber -colored panels made of recycled aluminum. This choice of colors symbolizes the local material world - the famous Bitterfeld amber and the coal of the region. A sustainable building was realized for 23 million euros, which also embodies the principles of structural change in the coal regions. Because these funding comes from the investment law, which provides up to 26 billion euros by 2038 for projects in lignite regions, such as the website of the Federal Ministry of Economics emphasized.

a station building of the future

But the new train station is more than just a new facade. It will also be equipped with a green roof, a photovoltaic system and a district heating supply, which supports the goal of expanding Bitterfeld into a future station by 2028. Dr. Lydia Hüskens, the Minister for Infrastructure and Digital in Saxony-Anhalt, emphasizes that the new train station not only offers modern design, but also an important, barrier-free traffic junction.

The opening ceremony will attract prominent guests, including Stefan Schnorr from the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport and Ralf Thieme from DB Infrago. They all emphasize the advantages of the new building for people, the economy and the environment. The old train station is more and more disappearing in the past, while the new one is supposed to build on 7,000 visitors a day and strengthen the connections to Leipzig, Halle, Magdeburg and the big cities such as Munich and Berlin.

on new horizons

The expansion of the station is part of a larger plan that is also to include other train stations in Saxony-Anhalt. DB Infrago takes a close look at around 100 train stations in Germany every year to convert them into modern future stations. This structural change not only provides aesthetic improvements, but will also optimize accessibility through new elevators and barrier -free inputs.
